(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the principal regulations”).
Regulation 4(1) of the principal regulations provides that a person who is responsible for a place of worship, carrying on a business or providing a service must take all reasonable measures to ensure that the required distance is maintained between any persons on the premises except in certain cases. These Regulations amend the principal regulations to provide that the duty in regulation 4(1) does not require the taking of all reasonable measures to ensure that the required distance is maintained, in relation to premises being used for the provision of school education, between two or more people where at least one of them is a pupil.
These Regulations also revoke the requirement to close community centres and amend the definition of “shop” in regulation 4(11) of the principal regulations to exclude cinemas, with the effect that the required distance to be maintained in a cinema is two metres.
